With a Coal Cart.
An amusing incident and one we'll
calculated to test the risibles OF the
most inveterate misanthrope, accurred
Yesterday evening on San Fernando
street.
The driver of coal wagon was pro-
ceeding at leisurely pace along the
street, paying very little attention to
what was going on around him, when
a Chinese laundryman came dashlng
along, evidently under the influence
of liquor or opium, and before the
driver OF the coal cart realized the SIT
uation, the Chinanan had driven his
team into it, doing it no damage what
ever, but throwing the driver Violent
ly from his seat and rolling him in the
gutter, where he lay for some time ap-
parently unable to comprehend the
unexpected turn affairs had taken,
while the Chinaman who had been
the cause OF the mischief, sped away
UP the street emitting loud peals OF
laughter at the discontinue of the
fallen coal man, and by the time he
had recovered his equanimity the
Chinaman was far "from the wrath tc
come" had he meditated anything in
retaliation, which he evidently did
for upon arising he gave vent to his
feelings in foreign tongue, to the
great amusement OF the large Grove
of spectators which gathered in an in
credibly short space OF time.

An Internal Machine.

What is supposed to be an Internal ma
chine was received yesterday through the
mail from the Boston post Office by a person
in this city. The machine consisted of a
pasteboard box, about four inches long and
an inch wide. A lead bomb, about an inch
and half long, with fuse at one end, was
placed in the box. A match was fastened to
the side, with the head near the fuse, and a
piece of sand paper fixed to the cover and so
arranged that when the box was opened the
rough surface of the sand paper would rub
against the match and ignite the fuse. 1t so
happened, however, that the match did not
light when the box was opened, and when it
was discovered that the box was what
appeared to be an internal machine it was
handed to Marshal Hawkes., who will exam
inc into the nature of the thing today. The
person who received the box says that he
has no acquaintance in Boston, and does
not know why it was forwarded to him. 1t
is thought that perhaps the sending of the
box was meant for joke, or is the work of
some crank.

THANKS.

After years of waiting, columns
of printed complaints, much be-
seeching, several petitions, and al
most total abandonment of hope,
the people in the neighborhood of
the Lunatic Asylum have had their
road attended to. The narrow
thoroughfare leading from the Pa
lama road, near the Rcformatory
School gate, to the Asylum, and
which was, in tAs wet season, an
impossible trail IF taro patch mud,
has been OVERLAP \ with thick cover
ing of coral. Ihe finishing strokes
have not yet beenYpplied, probably
but the road is no~ traversable in
all weathers. Better Yate than never ;
and the people concerned are jubi-
liant that at last their prayer has
been heard, and they can get to ant
from their residences without wadine
through mud knee-deep. Thanks tc

Interior, or whoever ordered the

or that he had an arsenal swung

weapon as an old jack knife. No,
nothing of this sensational natuie
whatever The man was simply
looking over the wall, or perched on

A very simple thing for anyone to
do, and just what the writer has
seen both men and boys do on differ
ent occasions, prompted by curios-
ity, and without suspecting that they
were liable to make themselves
famous by the act.
Viewed in one light, this little
affair of Thursday night was for
tunate occurrence, for it furnished q
days diversion in dull times. II
was the one topic of the town most
of the day yesterday, and during
the afternoon groups of men gathered
under the verandahs of Merchant
street--yes, Merchant street, where
wisdom, wit, and wealth are sup
posed to concentrate-and talkct
over this trivial little affair with al
the gravity and solemnity of grea
question which involved tremendous
issues. 1t was plain to see how LITTLE
things affect little minds, and tril'
surprising to find how many minds
fitted the measure.

ings, and there are: II there Is q
growing impatience with the course
OF public affairs, and there most
certainly is--it is all the fault of
government, and not lack of loyalty
in the people. Let the existing de.
fects of government he remeled,
and its evils, which have been
pointed out again and again, re-
moved; let it be purified, straight
ened, and placed in its proper re-
lationship TO the people-all OF
which can be done in day. Let
this be done instead of foolishly
employing the time in listening to
the reports of spies, and the people
will be solid for Hawaii, her institu-
tions, and her government.

LITTLE THINGS AmusE TITLE MINDS.

''Little things amuse little minds"
is an old and common saying which
has just recently been exemplified
and illustrated in the capital city of
the Hawaiian Islands.
A gentleman Of unusual altitude
was going to his home, after ending
his days duties, at about 10 o'clock
Thursday night. His road led past
the stone fence which surrounds the
Kings palace. For some reason or
other he perched on something and
looked over the wall, or, as one ac-
count says, sat on the wall and
looked over. He was seen by
policeman, who among others had
probably received special instruc-
tions to take care of that wall. The
policeman, as in duty bound, accost-
ed the gentleman, perhaps telling
him that he had overstepped the
rights of good citizen. The latter
tried to explain, but neither the
offender nor the officer understood
each others language, and they both
went together to the Police Station,
where explanations were offered and
understood, and the gentleman was
politely told that he might go home.
This is a simple little story, but
it has produced intense interest in
many minds. OF course, there are
about dozen ways of telling it,
each one containing some grace notes
which distinguishes it from the
others; but this appears as near
straight as any. None of them
assert, for wonder, that the man
was endeavoring to plant n battery
of guns on the wall, or that he had
box of dynamite under his arm,
or that he was jnst in the act OF
throwing fifty-ton dynamite bomb
